Sleeping on the ground for posture

[RebelWithACause]

Anyone tried this? Seen any benefits? I tried this in the beginning of PFS because someone told me it helped them a lot. It takes a while to get used to. I stopped doing it after 3 nights because I did not sleep well. Woke up groggy every time.

When I was in Japan I slept in a traditional hostel and I slept on the ground fine. But I was drunk every night so that probably made it a lot easier.

Still I think it is an interesting concept. That is why I am curious if someone here does it or has done it and if they experienced any benefits from doing so.

I slept on a thin yoga mat for 3 days at a festival once, I felt it improved my posture a little.

I tried this for a month. so hard to do , to sleep on the back. takes a long time to get used to and a lot of sleepless nights

I wanted to get trained to do this, but could not do it. But it def helps the posture, I had a sleepless month though))

even if I fell asleep, then in the morning found myself all crooked on the floor)) and it hurt bad ))

I wish I could do this, since I think it is great for the body, but in my case probably need something heavy to keep me just passed out LMAO

Same thing here haha. Our air mattresses all went flat so we basically slept on the floor.

Worst and best nights of my life

I think the transition period is the hardest. I will try it in the future after TEI. Pretty cool if you can just sleep on the floor. You will be able to sleep everywhere.

I sleep on a pretty firm mattress and that helped me a lot in terms of never having neck or back issues from sleeping poorly in the past. However, I was looking into more of posture stuff to help maintain good posture. I think my shoulders rounded a bit from sitting a computer for many hours of the day. I was looking at some of these, anyone know if they are legit?

Always wanted to do this but I'm a pussy so after 5 min of trying I just get into my bed

First place, I slept on floor. Ordered a yoga mat, slept on that. Wasted a ton of money on a sectional, slept on that, then got my bed in. Bed was worse (old bed) than all.
Floor is ok........ with carpet fine. Hardwood ok. But with back pain right now could be worse or better. This current place, got an air mattress. it's ok. BUt need real furniture....
desk chair is too short, air mattress kind of sucks. I don't want to buy a new bed, but will later. I'll get some cool new furniture later, but it will be annoying so I don't want to, and yet I'll have to.

I think I've done 5 days. Honestly, it's better than a couch or hard bed. Soft or medium softness bed is decent. Otherwise, chair lounger/ half sectional or a sectional is better.
I don't like the form factor of beds. And I hate moving them. This is a new building, no one lives here or barely. (now they do, was 0 is now 40 or so damn....)

Couch is fine if long enough and or there are blinds and it's not sunny 14 hrs a day.

so may move a stupid bed in here soon. There's charpai's and stuff too. Yoga mat wasn't comfy and only fit like 3/5 of me, probably 2 or 1/5 of you @RebelWithACause.

Everyday at like 4-5 different living spots my foot would hit the stupid bed as I wander into and out different rooms looking for something. The stupid bedframe weighing 5 x what it should weight.

I'm buying a folding mattress and a sectional. Traditional beds make me so mad. Moving the stupid nonsense from one location to the next. It's fucking horrible. I'm getting either a Casper or a Edsy or whatever the hell it's called.
Folding mattress.

I'd rather sleep on the floor than book a moving elevator if it's like NY or Toronto. Sign here sign there. Fuck it. Why bother.
Call here call there. What times your delivery truck? Who knows?? I don't know. Like what do they want from me?

Anyone tried this? Seen any benefits?

i hurt my back and posture trying this, afterwards trying to find a middle ground between a mattress and the floor I hurt myself more on a $10 air mattress from the camping section of walmart because it was only 8inches tall. The ones that are double that and have two levels of air are super comfortable but they're $35 and up so you might as well buy a futon or a cot. Pfs gave me horrible muscle atrophy in my upper back and sleeping problems and cold temperature so I'm always stiff and this experiment didn't go so well because of that, I never got to try it before pfs though I like the idea of sleeping on the floor. I think just like your foot hurts from walking barefoot until it regrow muscles sleeping on the floor will hurt but if you are healthy and don't have pfs it will make you stronger. Alhough I wouldn't put comfortable mattresses as serious a culprit for your bad posture as how we were forced as kids to sit on chairs all day in school.

Looks pretty handy. Right now I am just being more focussed on how I sit and walk. Making sure my chest sticks out instead of shoulders rotated forward. I notice certain muscles get sore in the back after a while since I am a lazy cunt. When I sit behind a screen I just let everything relax instead of keeping good posture. I think a lot of people do this.

But I also noticed after first TEI cycle OFF the supplements my posture was very good and it took no mental effort. Now on the supplements seems to be worse. But this could also be caused by the fact that I am a lot weaker on this cycle. My muscles are not very strong on this TEI cycle.

Mine gets really bad if I don't go for regular jogs and gym

resistance training for back specifically dead lifts or above the knew rack pulls really helped me early on since you are essentially pulling your shoulders and posture backwards as well. Which is opposite of what you would normally do all day long (lean in a forward position)
